The Jimi Hendrix Experience - I Don’t Live Today (Song)

Whoa (2006): Lil’ Kim
Lil’ Kim
“Whoa”
The Naked Truth
Queen Bee Entertainment/Atlantic Records
As far as I can see, Lil’ Kim is the only rap artist I have across who doesn’t favor having too many singles and music videos out from an album. “Hardcore” had “No Time”, “Crush On You”, and “Not Tonight”; “The Notorious K.I.M.” …
Over It (song) from Katharine McPhee
One of my favorite songs and one I suggested with my friend who was suffering from a break up with her boyfriend. Over it is a song about moving on with confidence. She is trying her man to believe that she can stand up after a fall. This song …
Hoobastank : ForNever
Three years does not make Hoobastank experienced many changes, at least from their style of music. ForNever, the four albums that came after Every Man For Himself in 2006, seemed to be a repetition of this band. My Turn, the first single released on October 13, 2008, is the …

Ashton 5-string bass guitar (musical instrument)
Recently I got myself a 5-string bass guitar and it`s a brand called Ashton which is the first time that I`ve heard of it and it`s also the first time that I`m going to use an unpopular brand of bass guitar.
This instrument is a product of Ashton Music, an …
The band Cannibal Corpse
The metal band Cannibal Corpse is a group of sick musicians and I mean sick in a real good way. I don’t think these guys are talented when it comes to making music but these guys have voices like you wouldn’t believe when it comes to belting out brutal …
Waiting All My Life (Single)- Rascal Flatts
There is one word that describes this song perfectly: beautiful. I do not use that term if I do not mean it, and this song is just an incredible piece of music. Rascal Flatts has so many hits, I feel like this one is always forgotten, but I, myself …
Bolt by John Powell
Disney soundtrack Bolt by John Powell rocks! And just one word to sum it: COOL. Filled me with suspense, fun and thrill. It befits an animated movie and my expectation from a soundtrack point of music contact to match a Disney animated movie is matched.
I must commend …
Nine Inch Nails - My Violent Heart (Song)
My Violent Heart is a song by Nine Inch Nails which appears on the record Year Zero. The song opens up with a very eerie rhythm played on a synthesizer which certainly gives the track an industrial feel. Reznor quickly joins in with his vocals and adds to the …
Ozzy Osbourne: No More Tears
No More Tears is my favorite solo album by Ozzy Osbourne.I love every song on the album with all of my heart’s content.The reason mainly is Zakk Wylde’s guitar playing.However, I feel like they captured Ozzy’s voice and desire in a very mature time in his life.The overall feel …
Weezer - Knock-Down Drag-Out (Song)
Knock-Down Drag-Out is a song by Weezer which appears on one of their self-titled albums, otherwise known as The Green Album. The track starts out with a very catchy vocal melody and this doesn’t let up anywhere throughout the song. The songwriting on this track is very basic, it’s …
The Flaming Lips - Hear It Is (Album)
Hear It Is is the debut album released by The Flaming Lips. I’ll start this review off by just making clear that the sound present throughout this record is significantly different than the sound the band would go on to be known for. Because of this, if you’re a …
Insane Clown Posse
Insane Clown Posse are on of my current favorite bands, and one of the only bands I like that are �new age� in their sound, that being Horrorcore, a sub-genre of Hip-Hop. They have memorable songs left, right and center and are simply indescribable, they jump genre with most …
Soundgarden A Sides
Another favorite grunge type band of mine is Soundgarden. Soundgarden’s A-Sides is a sort of greatest hits CD that will take you through a journey of music that is inspiring and lovely, all at the same time. Soundgarden A-Sides contains my personal favorites such as Rusty Cage, Burden In …
So Wrong It’s Right by All Time Low, album

Aaliyah - Aaliyah Album
The self titled album named Aaliyah by Aaliyah was released to the public in July of 2001. Much anticipated, it came out and it didn’t disappoint me in the least. Today, you can still hear her wonderful music still being aired on the airwaves all over the world. Listed …

Heroes del Silencio - Avalancha - Album

Green Day - Insomniac
Overview —“ Insomniac, Green Day’s fourth effort, continues with the sound that they developed on Dookie as they try to become better and better with songwriting. If I had to give a general pattern for this album, I’d say it gets progressively better as it goes along with some …

Holy Wood (in the shadow of the valley of death) is the band’s fourth full length album released on Interscope Records in 2000. Holy Wood was the first album since the Columbine Massacre in 1999, he took a lot of controversy for no reason, and this was his way …
Alan Jackson: When Somebody Loves You CD

Lip gloss by Lil Mamma
Lip gloss by Lil Mamma is a song about how this girl is uncool and then her lip gloss gets her into the cool club because it’s cool. This song is awesome in some ways because it’s all about lip gloss and I don’t know any song that is …
Avril Lavigne Goodbye Lullaby music album
This is Avril Lavigne’s senior effort album and I think it shows. It’s got a more mature sound with less poppy music —“ OK maybe not so true about the pop part. But it brings me back to her earlier solid efforts with quality music. Also, …
“White House” by Taylor Swift
“White Horse”, by Taylor Swiftis by far one of the best songs she has ever written. I didn’t even know that she wrote her own songs until just recently! She is so young and talented and this just really came as a surprise to me. Most artists have other …

HoneyHoney - alternative rock
I was really impressed with this two-man band - or should I say, the one man, one woman band. HoneyHoney is comprised of two members and two members only (with the exception of an additional musician or so on stage i.e. a drummer). For some reason, usually …
“Let it Rain” by Anthony Evans
We all know that when it comes down to great singers, gospel singers are among the best. Almost all the major artists out there have their roots in the church. But Anthony Evans is definitely an exception. He is not just a talented singer, but he himself is a …
The Saturdays Chasing Lights CD
As we all know, there are many hundreds of POP CD’s out on the market. But I most certainly have found one that is very good, and I think that everyone should get a copy of it one way or another. To some people it may not be that …
Wow Hits 2007 Christian Contemporary CD

‘Everytime’ by Britney Spears
To be honest, I don’t really care for Britney Spears in any way shape or form. Her live performances sound terrible and she truly did not and does not set an example for her younger fans, primarily girls in their ‘tween years. However, one song of hers has …

Bad Moon Rising, 1985 Album by Sonic Youth
This album is a very interesting record. I would not even say that it is a good or strong record as such, but it is surely pretty interesting to listen to. This record, which appears very early in their career, shows how heavy and experimental this band is. Even …
Goapele (singer)
I really tried to like this singer. She’s absolutely beautiful. A café au lait woman with and interesting eclectic style. She’s been around for awhile on the Neo-Soul scene, and I have yet to connect with her music. Her voice is buttery …
Doggystyle - Snoop Doggy Dogg

Alice In Chains - Put You Down (Song)
“Put You Down” happens to be track 9 on Alice in Chains album “Facelift”. Although by no means is it considered to be a single, I find it to be one of the better tracks on an already excellent album. Give the song a 30 second listen and tell …
Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show
I watched Don’t Cha by The Pussycat Dolls on Ellen Show before and I must say that I was totally bemused and impressed. I think the lead singer, Nicole sang like a karaoke version of something. She can really stretch her vocal chords and it was so fun …
Metallica - Cyanide (Song)

Stoned Raiders, 2001 Album by Cypress Hill
